Quakerism offers a spirituality based on experiencing a loving inward presence,
or Inner Light, which opens us to truth, freedom and peace. Our weekly Meeting
for Worship is at 10 am each First Day (Sunday). In our Meeting for Worship,
we gather together in prayerful silence for one hour, opening ourselves to this
experience. All are welcome.

We also have a monthly Business Meeting after worship on the third First Day
of each month, where consensus decisions are made concerning the Meeting's
financial, spiritual, and physical matters.

against another; but praying one or another and helping
one another with a tender hand. Britain yearly meeting Faith and Practice
